I had been using the Whitepages Caller ID app on my LG G2X and it worked beautifully. Gave me caller ID on incoming and outgoing calls and texts.
However, when I installed this app on my T-Mobile LG G3, no caller ID on phone calls, only texts. Actually there is a popup to ID calls but it's not logged in the app. The Whitepages tech support is beyond horrible. So can anyone recommend a solid Caller ID app for the G3?
Give Truecaller a try

Why?
Can you do better than that? You only have 2 posts and I don't even know if you have a G3. How 'bout some details?

I'm not your "brotha". I posted asking for a G3 forum user's experiences with Caller ID apps, that's all. I know how to use Google, as well as read Google Play reviews (which few people trust), and if it's O.K. with you I'd rather trust the good people of XDA instead.
So you don't need to talk down to me or be rude about it.
Wow. What a sense of entitlement you have there trollololollol

This post made me laugh, behave guys leave your egos at home on xda its not needed. Just be friendly with each other, if someone is a smart ass just ignore and move on.. no need to start drama.
With that said, this app supercontact has a built in caller ID feature basically once you have it installed on your phone when you get a call
you will get the location / caller ID info from that call..it doesnt work for text.

Hi, I wondered if anyone has come across an app which will speak alerts to me?
Perhaps something like "Text message from Jemima Puddleduck" and "Email from John Doe".
And preferably in a human sounding voice, not that abomination that is the standard Android text-to-speech!
Any ideas?
check out "Vlingo" or "edwin"
Just tried both, but neither does what I want :-(

you won't find any. An app would be alot more than the usuall 0.5 to 2mb. My reason for saying that you won't find any is because the app would have to know every name (and surname!) in the world, also any nickname etc! You'd proboly find that would tell who it is just by spelling the name out letter by letter, and even that wouldn't be very smooth (tone between letters and speed).
hope this helps! good luck!

I don't know if you're right. I don't think it would take that much space. Sure it wouldn't fit in 2megs, but I reckon fifty megs would be sufficient for all known English names. That's just a figure pulled out of my arse btw!
How about a custom message tone for a person that is a recording you have made. You would have to record a message for each person you want this for, Not the most user friendly way but will do what you want.

woow, no need for that kind of sh!t anyways.. what if you have someone saved in as a nickname (Ginger, Gypsy, my 2 favorite contacts ;D) then it would not tell you who was calling you cos the app would not know how to pernounce it..

One of the best apps out there is called Tasker. It can do everything! One of it's tricks is you can set it up to read your text messages out.
Is quite tricky to get used to at first, but once you 'click' with it, its fantastic.
It costs £4 (which is a bargain IMO) but there is also a free 1 week trial.

Agree with Tasker, I am using it
BUT .... BUT ...
It does NOT have this say NAME feature.
Tasker can only say the phone number.
The developer plan to add this feature in the next release ... Which we don't know when ... or NEVER

Is it permanent and auto... I need something like that, I rather not have frequent calls at all (TMI)
Idk if u can completely disable it but long pressing the contact u can remove em in 1 click i will check if they can be disabled and edit the post
Edit: i dont see any option to disable them entirely but deleteing is easy and it deletes the entire frequent call log for that contact and not just one call at a time so if u have (contact name) 15 calls to that contact it deletes all 15 calls and not just 1 call at a time

If you're going to be a douche and cheat on your woman and not have the balls to, you know - be a man and tell her what's up. Then at least put in some effort to cover your tracks instead of being lazy. Delete the frequently called list yourself, manually.
I'll take my infraction if that's what happens. This thread is stupid. Reported.

Do most people not know about the apps on the market that hide info like that? If you want to hide certain numbers when they call/text - get a black list app/privacy app or something like that. I like showing off what my phone can do also so I know what you mean. However, I don't allow complete strangers to handle my phone. I don't mind people seeing the name of someone I call often - I'm more concerned about the pictures they might see.
Guys, I use shady sms. It's got a built in call guard and a hidden contact list. Dev is cool too, he responds with help usually same day.
It blocks calls, sms, and hides them in the app. There's no app icon either. To open it, you go to phone, type your secret code, and hit send.

Damn, I was just joking.. Did I touch a spot, did your significant other cheat on you or etc... WOW!
I just want to app that monitors the Frequently Called list and prevents contacts from ever appearing on it without having to manually clear the list.
I know there other members looking for a similar solution to this problem....
Didn't mean to touch a nerve, hope you get your partner back, root their phone or something nice like that! Good luck!
Maybe edit the phone.apk or dialer.apk to get rid of the frequent list all together.
Or it may just be editing a value check for a call to save to the list. That way its always empty.
If you're going to be a jerk to your wife, then at least just get a separate phone. Or maybe you DO want to get caught. If you really cared you would not cheat, and if she's not what you want any more do the right thing and divorce her so she can do what she wants and maybe find someone who respects her without having to be concerned about someone who seems to not care about her(you).
That being said, I would check out Shady SMS, seems to help some ways. I figure the cost is worth it if you don't want to get caught.

I think the app Super Private Conversation hides all communication from certain contacts and it is free on the market.
They changed the name to Private SMS & Call but it works wonders and is free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superdroid.spc&hl=en
Alternatively, just use google voice for that purpose. All outgoing calls and text will be hidden within the google voice app.

Hello,
does anyone have issues with the voice search not working as advertised on the keynote?
For example, asking "Who's is the Prime Minister of Japan" just returns a web search result and nothing else. No talking back.
It seems as though it's been disabled, can anyone confirm this?
Edit: Perhaps it's because I'm outside of the US? I'd love to hear back from users with Jellybean outside and inside the US.
Google Now/Search definitely talks back. I just tried that right now. Have you enabled all the features in keyboard/typing and search settings? Try a restart also after

Alright so I can confirm. Once I went home I was able to get it to talk back and respond to some basic questions, such as "weather" and "who is prime minister of x".
Anyone have any other cool questions you asked that Google responds to? For example, currency conversion doesn't respond back to me, just shows me search.
Although I can never get the mapping questions to show up. "Map of gas stations near me", or "Map of closest 7 eleven"
Also, my Google Now shows no results.
Confirmed working over here in Australia. Pretty cool actually. Now excuse me I've got a bus full of iPhoneys to show off to!
I can't get it to talk, it just shows me some googlelinks here in germany :/

For England if you ask, "Who is the Prime Minister of UK" it works.
For SMS I say, "Send text to Dad I'm going to be late today" works for me.
For Alarm, I say, "Set and Alarm for 430 am tomorrow" also works.
Fun think to try, "What is the answer to life, the universe and everything" you get, "42"
Other things I've noticed:
"Where are all the petrol stations near me" works. Whereas, "where are all the gas stations near me" didn't. Then slowly, over time, as I used it more they started to work.
It seems like something is going on in the servers at ol google.

Uhm, maybe you are right. But what I see is that Google is shifting the talk to the whatsapp/line/bbm -alike messaging. To think of it, I'd say it's not a bad move though as there's proven track record from the mentioned communication app even though the lack of "see who's online" option.

Smart Notify is working if phone is not locked. If it is locked then full screen caller id come, than no callers's company info shown.
Call informer was the App i was using 4 years ago. I already tried it since i swicthed back to android.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with newest android phones. Like my Pixel 3 XL.
But it works great with Asus zenfone 3. Which has android 8.0.0
It would be great if there is an update to call informer.
